mash Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Hi, I am starting to put my ww2 kit together and need some advice on the trf's used on the battledress. I know now we only wear the trf on the r/h side with the red section to the front, during ww2 I believe one was worn on each arm however I have seen conflicting images of the ww2 ones being worn some with the blue section to the front and others with the red to the front. Any advice or images greatly appreciated. Thanks Mash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiffy_massive Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Someone at the REME museum in Arborfield will confirm but i think it is Blue to the rear as in the TRF we are wearing now which was taken from the TRF worn during the war.

No Signals Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 If you are referring to the WW2 'arm of service' strips then it is the other way round. Blue to the front for RE, red to the front is artillery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 For WW2 uniforms, it was first named colour to the front, REME being Blue-Yellow-Red, so blue to the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woa2 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 For WW2 uniforms, it was first named colour to the front, REME being Blue-Yellow-Red, so blue to the front. I checked at the REME Museum today and this is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
